Should i give up my baby?

im almost 16 years old and I just recently found out that im pregnant
lots of people are tellin me to get an abortion or give it up,I dont want to
I would give that baby anything it ever needed and wanted
do you think I should give it up or abortion?

No! this is your baby if you want to go around the world sayin wheres my mommie a baby can live without a father but a mother is were the heart is have you ever seen a person get on stage and say hi dad no its hi mom.

there are lots of couples who want to adopt and an agency is not the only way to go there is a type of adoption called independent adoption which my husband and I are trying to do right now if you would like more info about this option please let me know

DO NOT ABORT YOUR BABY. If you feel that you cannot take care of the baby or that you are not ready to take care of it, put it up for adoption. A chance at a life is better than no life at all.

NO abortion. Either try to work it out so that you will have the support you need to finish high school or strongly consider adoption. It will be the most difficult decision of your life, so please make it be the right choice.

I wouldn't let anybody get in my way of makinf a right decision. You must be strong for this baby--nobody else can stad up for it, it cant stand for itself you are its only hope. abortion is WRONG! there is a better way. This child is ALIVE and helpless and can feel everything that is being done to its poor helpless body. From the day of conception this child has brain waves and its fragile body is already starting to form.

This is a living breathing child, and not only would you be harming it-you'd be emotionally harming yourself. I believe that EVERY person in this world has a purpose and a destiny--this child will make an impression on this earth. There are other ways to 'get out of this'..although a child is a true blessing adoption is a great way to relieve yourself and make another loving family very happy and grateful and blessed. This is something that you cant take back...think about it. pray about it.

God bless

You are very young to be pregnant and to have to decide to keep the child or not. Babies are expensive and take constant care. It is not easy work. You need to sit and think this through. What are your plans for the future? College? Being that you are 16, your parents would be the ones to really care for the baby. Is that right for them to ahve to do? Can they financially care for another child? There is so much to consider. I do beleive that there are so many couples out there that will adopt and care for your child very well, should you decide to put him/her up for adoption.
You've got a lot of thinking to do. Also does the father of the baby know? What does he say or feel about it?

if you feel up to it keep the baby. they are wonderful. I just had one. they are hard to take care of. but its not that hard. abortion is murder. I would give it up for adoption if you cant take care of it.

I don't personally believe in abortions, so personally I say no. If it's what you want though, and you can handle it, go for it. If you don't think you can handle a child, adoption would be the best option. You say you want it, and would take care of it. I think that is for the best. Don't let anyone tell you what to do with your baby. It is your decision that you will be living with for the rest of your life. Not to mention adoption could cause your baby to have an attachment disorder if it isn't immediate. Never doubt that you could take care of it if you believe strongly that you can. Maternal instinct, even at 16, can be very strong, and the best thing for your baby. I hope you make the decision that is best for you, and your baby. Not what is thought to be best by parents, friends, relatives or anyone else. Good luck, and best wishes.

Also, there are plenty of programs to help you support this child. You could get medicaid for health insurance for you and the baby. They pay for everything except a circumcision (sp). That includes while your pg, labor and delivery and after the baby is born. If you don't have enough food, or the right kinds of food to support this baby's growing needs, you can apply for WIC. They help you out with juices to drink, milk, cheese, cereal, bread, and other things like that. I can't remember it all right now, but you can surely look it up. If your parents are concerned about those costs, these options will certainly help you out.

its nobody elses choice but YOURS! if you want to keep the baby then do!, but babys need all your time and attention!! they are incredibly expensive!!!.you should have used contraception! then you wouldnt be in this situation, and you wil also have 2 mentally physicaly and emotional prepare urself for lots of sleepless nights! being with you baby 24/7 good luck x

coming from sum one who got preg early I know how your feeling its very emotional! ups and downs all the time but thank god I had my boyfriend there with me all the time to help me threw it if it wasnt for him I wouldnt have made it threw. when I found out I was preg I was thinkn the same thing I was scared of telling my dad and I was scared or bein a mom but as the months past and my belly grew more and more I got attached to the life inside me its absolutley amazing to have felt his lil feet kickn my insides, I wouldv never got a abortion I couldnt go threw with it so I kept it and now I have a beutiful lil boy that I love so much id die for him! the answer will become very clear to you dont worry about what any one else has to say only you can follow your heart and know what you want. but believe me if you do get a abortion ull regret it the rest of your life thinking of the person it couldv been

UM. NO. honestly I would just take the wrapp, killing a baby to me is to heartless. no one can tell you what to do. think of the person that you could bring into the world... and think of the person that you can take OUT of the world...

I think that you should not give up the baby b/because you could bring another human being into this world and teach them about everything they need to know.And you're right, you could give/do anything for this child...Plus just follow your mind,your heart,your soul and decide what you are going to do...But I really think that you should keep the baby,and have a great life with the pretty boy,or pretty baby girl...Good Luck

NO! You should not give it up. Even if you are sixteen it is YOUR child and you do what you want to do, don't listen to what other people are saying because you will regret it later in life. So many teens get pregnant and keep their babies, and they make it just fine. But dont do something you will regret, do what makes you happy! Noone can make that choice for you.

hope I helped, xoxo

it is no one elses decxision but your. If you want to have the baby, have it. Don't let anyone make the choice for you. I had gotten pregnant this past december, and mt mother forced me to get an abortion. I hated it. And I had to only because she threatened me saying that she would charge statuitory rape on my fiance if I didnt. If you want to abort the baby or give it up for adoption or havit the baby, it is your choice! so please just think about it, because it was the worst experience of my life knowing that I had to kill my baby, I live with it every day. But if it was my choice, then I wouldnt feel so bad, but it wasnt I was forced to. So please make the decision yourself! Best of luck to you, and if you have any questions or need to talk, fun mail me =] I Hope that I helped!

it's a lot like the person above me said...
basically, you said it yourself in your question. you DON'T WANT TO. follow your heart in this one. if you think you can do it, and that's your decision, then do it. people will lecture you about bad decisions, but the fact is that you are already in this situation and need to deal with it.

you are a male

I had a baby at 14 years old and it turned out to be one of my biggest blessings. please dont make the mistakes my best friends regret. God will take care of you both as long as you just ask. you're getting ablessing that a lot of people cant recieve.

if you want this baby have this baby, it's nobody elses choice, don't let peopel decide for you but remember, babies take up all your time, you give up your teenage years and young youth to look after the baby, and babies cost a lot of money ,but thats not whats its about, if you love it, care for it and protect it as any mother would, go for it.
best of luck,
erin
